Kristen has said she ‘grew up’ around movies and TV production, as her mum, a continuity expert, amassed dozens of credits including the hit TV series’ Chicago Hope and Picket Fences and movies The Phantom and Mortal Kombat.
Kristen’s dad, John, meanwhile, is a veteran stage manager and worked as a producer for the Oscars and the Grammys.

Although the lovebirds kept their wedding guests to a minimum, they reportedly still had some celebrity guests, including Ashley Benson and her husband Brandon Davis.
Kristen and Dylan – who is the daughter of filmmaker Nicholas Meyer – reportedly procured their Los Angeles County marriage license on Tuesday of last week.
Photos of the couple obtained by DailyMail.com previously showed them together just a day before they received their marriage license.

Although Kristen and Dylan reportedly met back in 2013 on a movie set, the Hollywood figures didn’t become an item until years later in August of 2019.
